i have a rough idea on prices of some bits as my dad has a few genuine gtrs and xu-1's and more then enough parts but even though he doesnt need any more parts he still buys them so he may be intrested in the badge i'll ask him later on

It's the actual GTR badge, not the LC/LJ grille emblem. NOS GTR badges are $50, so since mine is genuine Holden (which you cannot buy) it should be worth more.

You gotta put things like this in perspective I suppose. We don't value Holden stuff because we like Datto's, and pay some crazy prices for Datto stuff. Some bloke rebuilding his genuine XU1 GTR may pay through the nose, and then laugh when I tell him what a GX bonnet goes for.

Way off topic, sorry.

if it is a genuine grille badge of an xu-1 then it will be the same as your everyday lc/lj torana badges and nothing special so porbably be worth $30

my first car was a 1998 vt commodore acclaim...that was a beast then moved onto a subaru liberty rx 2000 model then a 2004 subaru impreza rs... and as well as the impreza now i have a 1980 datsun 1200..... will never part with the datsun...

Torrys are pulling crazy money these days, so if you can find the right person, I'd be leaning more towards the $200 figure than the $20 ;)

My first car was an evil 1965 RT40 Toyota Corona... 4 wheel drums, 4 speed on the tree.... lucky I'm still alive.

I blew up 4 motors in that thing.

I went from there to 70's BMWs (which I still have one that is going to be my daily once the 1200 restoration begins in earnest) and now the 1200 coupe which was my wife's first car. We've had the 1200 for 10 years.

Yeah, I hate Holden's, but I can tolerate a nice Torrie.

Sorry to jump totally off topic, but I have an original XU1 GTR grille badge. Anyone have an ide what it's worth? I've been told anywhere between $20 (that guy was an idiot) and $200.

hillman hunter safaey ( spelling) means wagon in the hillman range . was 10 years old and car was free

1958 hillman minx,white with red n orange flames down the sides and bonnet.A mates dad had a 1200 coupe, i had to have one! so found one in the paper but when i got there it was a 1000 coupe with an A12. sweet,still got it,one day ill finish the chop top.....15 years later and my daily is an A14 1200 sedan.

Come on Lc-Lj Torana's arnt a bad car at all my old man has a pretty clean Lj 4 door with a 300 odd hp holden 202 in the build should be fun

It was worth $20 to trash it
